Status report
Neither team held a morning skate Saturday. ... Jack Hughes left with an undisclosed injury after falling awkwardly late in the third period of a 4-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday, but there was no update from coach Lindy Ruff after the game; if Hughes cannot play, Mercer, Haula and Lazar each is an option to move from wing to center, and Clarke, a rookie forward called up from Utica of the American Hockey League on Wednesday, could make his NHL debut. … Daws is expected to make his third start in six games after Vanecek made 23 saves Friday.
